RODNEY KHALASCHI (They’re Here, Housepitality / San Francisco) Rodney Khalaschi (@rodney-kh) fully immersed himself in the San Francisco underground music scene upon moving to the city from Los Angeles in 2014 . With a respectful understanding of the unique culture that exists around collecting and playing vinyl, Rodney pursued deeper musical knowledge and a fine-tuning of his skills under the mentorship of Tyrel Williams (Acid Test, Immortal Sin). Rodney’s unwavering love for vinyl quickly extended into his life away from his decks at home, ushering him into working for Vinyl Dreams and RS94109; two of San Francisco’s most beloved record stores catering to dance music enthusiasts of all varieties. As Rodney fell into family-style relationships with artists and dancers in the Bay Area, his sound began to take shape. His DJ sets fall somewhere on the spectrum between sultry and energetic, always paying homage to the roots of dance music with their simultaneous Chicago and Detroit flavor, and never missing an opportunity to showcase music from local Bay Area artists. Rodney has played a myriad of memorable and expressive gigs, such as his recent set at the Sunset Campout 10 year anniversary in 2019, as well as opening sets for names like BMG, Tin Man, and Justin Aulis Long. He is a resident for Housepitality SF, and co-founder of They’re Here, a monthly dance party with a cult following of dancers who prefer a raw, post-punk edge. This mix is a special demonstration that was recorded in October 2020 from the deeper space of Rodney’s collection in light of feeling inspired by the new beginnings that were starting to unfold in his personal life.
